[G2 and Desire Z General] dictionary:
About the ban? When Sillian first came, he post a soon to come thread .. which got deleted I believe, because you aren't supposed to do "coming soon" threads. Since people kept hounding him in that thread, he put up a ROM that supposedly "takes forever to boot, because I want people to feel like what it feels to brick their phone. I slowed down the boot animation by a ton, that's why. If you just let it sit, the phone will boot" .. which wasn't true. Basically, it was a ROM that didn't boot, because he wanted people to experience a soft brick. Why? Because at the beginning of this thread, he'd posted this huuuuuuge tutorial of how to get the ROM up and running, but the formatting was horrendous. People asked him to just post the ROM, and let users use one of the many various, and much more detailed guides out there. That's when he got frustrated, and posted the "brick" ROM. I believe that's what got him banned, or at least a warning. 1st Strike

Then he came out with the first iteration of his ROM, but it included massive amounts of Pirated apps, as well as requiring users to sign up for his site .. so his thread got locked. 2nd Strike

Once those were fixed, the thread (the last one) got reopened, and we've all been enjoying things until the AOSP Sense widgets mess, along with again including Pirated apps. 3rd Strike

This blows though, as his ROMs, or at least his kernels, for whatever reason, work REALLY well, haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
Wow... that really sucks
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
BINGO, Dictionary nailed the whole strung out drama of Sillian..........What a waste of great potential.

Matter of fact I still have a copy of his "Bricked" rom if anyone wants to know what a brick feels like......lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] bstylz911:
Wha do u mean AOSP widgets were mess?

So is 4 a bad rom?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dictionary:
Mess meaning, fiasco/nonsense. The 4a/b ROM isn't a bad ROM, I'm actually running it now .. it's just that it you can't actually use the TRUE Sense widgets on the AOSP launcher/s, and there is at least 1 Pirated app still included.

Overall it's a really nice ROM, that's basically a Sense ROM, without a lot of sense bloat, like Rosie.apk. Notification bar pull down, icons, browser, camera, etc .. all that stuff is Sense. The only thing identifiable with AOSP, is the inclusion of the AOSP launcher, and maybe the messaging app.

Two things:

1. I am with Bell, in Canada. My MMS settings would/are different from yours

2. I never MMS, lol, so sorry I can't help ya with that one. I'd assume you will probably have the same problem in 4, simply because it's Sense again .. though I think he's using the AOSP messaging app. Is that what's being used on the 3a? I can't recall

oh... why did sillian have to do that... His roms where pretty good. I guess ill just stick with MIUI since its my fav.

USB Debugging off

ANY USB device you plug into XP/VISTA/7 will install drivers, but in most cases they will be mass storage drivers. This happens when you plug in a USB flash drive into a PC for the first time, Windows will install it's own drivers but work fine after that.

Same with the Vibrant - it will install mass storage drivers only once and after that it will show up as removable storage. The drivers don't have to be downloaded they are built into windows.

If you plan to flash your phone then you will need to download the drivers yourself and enable USB debugging.

But to use your phone as a flash drive just plug it in and you will see 2 new drive letters, on for internal phone memory and one for SD card..

If you updated to froyo.ka6 via mini kies you will also see a third drive, listed as a cd-rom. Weird.

hey all - I just watched a video of this little app in action and can't for the life of me figure out why Moto hasn't continued development on it.

I've seen it as an install option on Apex 1.4.1 but nowhere else... I usually run Liberty and I'm not sure if this is a Blur app - anyway, I'd like to know if I could install it somehow - but I'm not sure where the .apk file resides on my sd card and I can't find an .apk of it here or anywhere else.

any advice?

I've just been playing around with Leocpuspeed and stumbled across something, you can overclock your cpu for about a minute when you first switch on your phone. I'm a complete noob but that tells me something starts to run after a minute that causes it to reset, if someone could find out what it was and disable it from starting maybe we could have an overclocked cpu in windows :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
I guess it does not exist because the devs don´t want to brick a great device.

If you read the thread of the software you mention, you´ll find explanations why it is not really a good idea to overclock HD2´s CPU.

I believe many people tried the overclocking in Android - and bricked their device that way.

Custom roms for the Quantum will come whenever the module reloc tools are finished and ready. Until then, there are no custom rom (if there could be, I would be building for quantum).
[Quantum General] sure haven't:
Would could you even add to a custom rom that isn't in stock? Different colours I suppose. It's a pretty locked-down system is it not? It's not like Android or wm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bloodyxscar:
ok so i just now finally got this thing rooted. and i was wondering how i could change the top bar(notification bar) to a dif color or something its not to important just wondered how to do it but, my main reason for this post was to findout if theres a way to change adw to where when i hit the middle button to view all apps it would be like sense and just scroll up and down instead of side to side..?

thanks not sure if anyones asked this before so it might not be possible...(yet)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
I'd you choose a cm based rom they have the tmobile theme

[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Try the UOT KITCHEN for theming the notification bar.

Look in adw settings to change they way the app drawer scrolls. You can change it to horizontal or vertical scrolling.
[HTC Inspire 4G] d9vabder:
With the coredroid ROM, they have some customized status bars you can download to their ROMs. For example when I pull the bar down, it is partly translucent and there is a little Droid guy in the bottom right. You can also download a rotate fix which allows you to view your phone in landscape view even on the homescreen.

So for the first time ever, I dropped my phone in water.

Luckily I'm still under warranty, except I'm worried about the water indicator. It's still white under the battery, but does anyone know if there is other like inside the phone?

Also, I can boot the phone to the bootloader, but that's it. I can get to recovery from there, but flashing ROM's do nothing, I still always boot to the bootloader no matter what.

Does anyone know if there are more water indicators or of there is a way to temporarily fix this? I'm freaking out

remove the battery, simcard, and other peripherals from the phone.

using alcohol also is a nice way because alcohol will displace the water.. do this before putting the phone on the uncook rice..

The bag of rice is the only thing you can do. A hairdryer for a little should be ok but please dont put it in the oven. And i would recommend not using alcohol since it would probably strip the paint and mess up the plastic.

My amber LED is always solid - even when removed from the charger. I also noticed the battery life has diminished significantly since this started to happen (6 hrs of light use).

I did numerous reboots and battery pulls and this did not solve things. I then backed up my rom and tried switching (to Cyanogen7) and it the issue still remained even after the fresh rom was installed.

No searches revealed anything of this nature. Anyone have a clue?

[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
So I came across this early on in my research of theme porting, but was still learning and didn't fully understand the process. However, now that I have some experience under my belt I decided to take a look at it and see how it worked.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591329

Basically by use of this app we can apply created .zip packages that contain themed image's for any .apk located in /system/. In short, we can theme individual pieces of our phone to our taste, by applying a specific .zip.

There is a very specific process to doing this, because there are certain requirements to inserting .png files into your phone. The files you have flashed may have changed XML values that point to specific images, if that XML points to 20 images then the .zip you create must contain different versions of those specific 20 images - in order for this to work properly. In other words, the images already have to be called in the code for this to work, so we have to be careful how we build these .zip's so they work right.

Basically what we need to do is just start creating addon packs for our existing theme's, that way we know it will work as long as that theme is installed (it has the XML to support the .png file addon packs)

That means, you get your little tweaks without us having to create entire new theme's or having to bother at all with the long process of making these edits, we just have to find the .png's you want changed and include them in the package.

Watch this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9y3ooUZZrg

I've tested this once on just my battery (because the accurate battery xml is universal, it references 100~ images) I used the battery from my recent port A Splash of Color, i pulled the .png files of just the battery icon and transplanted them to the .zip i created (watch the video, it shows you how to do it) Pushed the .zip to the AndroidThemes directory on my phone (that the Metamorph app created) then loaded up the app. In the app, my test.zip showed up and everything worked great - at the end the phone vibrated as if it was force closing but it was just rebooting, when it was done the battery icon was changed, with no need to wipe dalvik or use recovery at all. :)

Go ahead and try for your self, here is my testing.zip (you must have at least pick and pack and a theme with the accurate battery mod installed for this to work);

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QFLQDEGE

I have my EA11 dark froyo port that i'm working on, and you'll see i've changed the battery to the EA11 Splash of Color battery

Then stay tuned for some updates on the theme's i've ported :) (customizations!)

Backup option in recovery for sure. This backs up your whole phone state. Apps, settings, icons...everything. For an extra safety measure you can use something like Titanium Backup to backup apps and system settings. This is good for switching roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazzaras:
you can use the backup from ROM Manager and if you really need to you can always follow the unroot procedure and that gets you back to the out of the box feel
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmagritte:
Thank guys. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I thought ROM/flashing questions belonged here...

To backup from recovery or ROM manager you need to first flash over the stock recovery image with ClockworkMod Recovery, correct? I was wondering if there's any full backup that will also backup the recovery image prior to doing this, for an easy return to fully stock phone. I'm guessing the answer is no. Correct?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Once you have rooted the phone, and turned s=off you can flash Clockwork Recovery image to do back ups.

IF you are needed to go to a 100% stock fashion for what ever reason. you can do that. All you need to do is download the PD15IMG which can be found in the development section. Store it to the SDcard and boot the phone into boot-loader. That will replace EVERYTHING and put it back to a 100% factory spec. and no they cannot tell it's been rooted once the PD15IMG has been flashed.

hey guys, need some help:

been flashing radios, roms and spls succesfully in the past year on my htc magic.

recently upgraded to the desire and wanted to start flashing here as well.

i can see the device with adb devices (or fastboot devices), so driver must be installed correctly

but when i fastboot flash recovery (AmonRA) it sends ok but then fails writing with the error "fastboot failed (=remote not allowed)".

the desire has froyo sense stock on it and booting into fastboot gives me this info:

so i have s-off which is good, but why can't i get amonra on the phone?

do i need another hboot? and what about spl?

hey, thanx for your answer, and nice prog!

it didn't work though: i booted the phone into fastboot, started the prog and gave it amonra's recovery. it all looked like it worked. the phone also reboots just like it says in the prog. but it still doesn't get the recovery on the phone.

so here's my updated status report, i hope someone can help me out:

i rooted succesfully yesterday (the unrevoked method). the version from their site that you can download now didn't do the trick though, i got the missing CID error that lots of others also get. i searched that problem and found the unrevoked prog in its version 3.2. that one worked. so the phone is rooted and unrevoked also flashed clockwork mod recovery.

i then succesfully flashed a rom (oxygen) and this all works which is nice.

my problem is that i

1.) can't boot into recovery by pressing home + power. i have to fastboot, then choose bootloader, then recovery. this starts clockwork mod.

2.) i can't get amonra to my phone. it won't work via fastboot flash recovery (error mentioned in post #1) or via the program mentioned in post #2.

i'd really like be able to flash recovery and radios via fastboot commands, i'm used to it and i don't like the fact that i get an error when i try this.

what's causing the problem here?

it must also be related to the fact that i couldn't get amonra installed via the program mentioned in post #2.

is it my hboot?

i'm rooted and also s-off.

so what is causing this locked up behavior?

i'd apprecciate any help you can give me,

thx,

v.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
Try flashing it from the phone itself.

Place amonra.img in sdcard root directory.

From terminal emulator or over adb type flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img

Then reboot, this can be done from recovery or from android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
already tried that method yesterday (sorry i forgot to mention it).

didn't work either.

i just ran unrevoked again and clicked "custom recovery" and added the amonra recovery. unrevoked ran thru the rooting process and in the end it succesfully flashed amonra. at least i can now use amonra.

but i still can't use any fastboot commands, i always get the "failed (remote: not allowed)" error.

what the hell is going on here?!

greetz,

v.
